I’m leaving a senior role in Kingston - can you help with my exit package?
Absolutely. We act for directors and senior executives exiting roles across Surrey and London. Whether you’re negotiating severance, challenging restrictions or responding to concerns raised against you, we’ll guide you through the legal and reputational aspects. Our goal is to protect your interests and secure the best possible outcome.
We’re a business in Kingston - can you help with managing poor performance?
Yes. Managing underperformance can be time-consuming and risky if not handled correctly. We support employers in Kingston with legal advice, documentation and process around capability issues, including improvement plans and formal warnings. We also offer training on managing poor performance for HR teams and managers. Getting it right protects your business, boosts productivity and reduces the risk of claims.
How can we reduce the risk of a tribunal claim from an ex-employee?
Preventing claims starts well before employment ends. We help employers in Kingston take proactive steps – from following fair procedures in disciplinaries and redundancies, to handling grievances properly and recording clear decision-making. We also draft robust contracts and policies and provide training to managers, helping your business stay legally compliant and reduce the risk of defending costly employment tribunal claims.
I’ve have restrictive covenants in my contract - am I still allowed to work for a competitor?
It depends on the wording and how reasonable the restriction is. Many employees in Kingston – especially in senior or client-facing roles – are bound by post-termination clauses that aim to prevent competition or client contact for a period after leaving. We’ll review your contract, assess whether the restriction is likely to be enforceable and advise on the risks of joining a new employer. Our team regularly supports individuals navigating restrictive covenants in employment contracts, including cases where threats of enforcement arise.
